Was Malcolm X Bi or Gay?

Full story: www.womanist-musings.com

Bruce Perry’s landmark biography of Malcolm X, Malcolm: The Life of the Man Who Changed Black America, appeared in 1991, and caused shock waves among those who had taken his Autobiography as gospel truth. It wasn’t. And it’s been very hard and very painful, in the eighteen years since it was published during the resurgence of interest in Malcolm, for blacks to accept the very real possibility that Malcolm may have been bisexual or gay. Moreover, that his faith and marriage to the beloved and revered Betty Shabazz may have been a way to subsume his desires as well as his affinity for living on the edge and fit somewhere, anywhere in the world. It’s commonly known as putting up a front.

So do those "revelations" change his influence on Black America.

And if he was bi sexual, which is most important his sexuality or his determination for Black people to suffer their own efficacy?

man the nature of the white man even if it's in the black man... so let's continue with the debasement, why not?

black men are criminals, black women have more abortions, black people make up most of the welfare recipients, etc.....lol

Oh since we are so "bad" why don't you authorize Reparations so we can leave this place. Don't give it to those who want to stay among you, you can keep kickin their azzes in your myriad of ways..

i wrote blog years ago about how white men fear the physical prowness of the black man and that they will find a way to neutralize it.

And as usual white can depend on the negro to debase himself because that's how he's programmed.

Thank you jesus..

and that all you black women who support him..

Perhaps Black people will not be so predjudiced against gays...but then bats may fly out of my ass.

I thought Malxolm was too busy banging women to have any time for any gayness in his life.

This is a bunch of bull sh**, Malcolm was a serious muslim,... he was no homo

the article even states, "Moreover, that his faith and marriage to the beloved and revered Betty Shabazz", so they're letting you know that he was faithful to his wife, but they're still trying to call him a fag, people are willing to make up anything these days

They said "THE beloved and revered". Could easily have meant by others, not specifically by Malcom.

And what if he was? Who cares? Why does it matter? It doesn't change the profound impact he had on history.

Also, they said his "faith AND marriage" two separate things. They did not say his marriage was faithful.

Not that it matters, but I have read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, and there was no indication of any homosexual activity in his writ. Even in the penned afterward by the ghostwriter of the novel, there was no indication. If Malcolm X was gay, I'll be shocked.
